Co-Enzyme Q10, also known as Ubiquinone, is a lipodal vitamin-like substance that serves as a vital catalyst of cellular energy in every cell in the human body. It is found in high concentrations in heart muscle, the liver, and the gums. Isolated in its pure form in 1957, researchers found it to be an essential substance involved in cell respiration, electron transfer, and the control of oxidation reactions.A recent review of its therapeutic benefits suggests Co-Q10 may become standard thera ...
Co-Enzyme Q10, also known as Ubiquinone, is a lipodal vitamin-like substance that serves as a vital catalyst of cellular energy in every cell in the human body. It is found in high concentrations in heart muscle, the liver, and the gums. Isolated in its pure form in 1957, researchers found it to be an essential substance involved in cell respiration, electron transfer, and the control of oxidation reactions.A recent review of its therapeutic benefits suggests Co-Q10 may become standard therapy for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, including angina pectoris and congestive heart failure. Co-Q10 deficiency has been reported in 60% to 96% of patients with gingivitis. Deficient levels of Co-Q10 have been found in diabetes mellitus, periodontal disease, and muscular dystrophy.No serious side effects have been reported with long-term clinical use of Co-Q10.
